Korean Peninsula

Gunfire Exchanged Along Border

By Times Wire Reports

Soldiers from North and South Korea exchanged gunfire along their border, the office of South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said. No one was hurt on the southern side.

North Koreans fired several shots toward a South Korean guard post in the eastern part of the Demilitarized Zone, a statement said, and the South returned fire.

It was unclear if anyone was hurt on the northern side, and North Korean comment was not immediately available.

    They are probably just bored to death glassing at each other ... a little entertainment from time to time won't hurt just to break the monotony [}:)]

    I was stationed right on the DMZ, across the Imjin River north of Freedom Bridge.. There were shots daily, they were just reminders that they were watching us..[:0]

    North Koreans were probably just helping out their ROK counterparts - might have spied Lt heading up for a post check, give the poor guy on duty a little wake up call. I'm surpised it was even reported.

    just a normal pissing match. n korea knows they will get the old neutron bomb if they roll over our dmz like a speed bump. we could never defend that poop hole. the only thing that would save you there is soju and a hooker. at least you would feel good before you die.

    Had a buddy stationed at that DMZ. He said they shoot at each other all the time but do not let it get out to the news to avoid escalation. He killed a few trying to sneak up on his missle installation at night. He said the sensors go off frequently and they blast away. He said they have killed a lot of deer in that DMZ too. This one must have leaked out somehow.
